#i spent so much time implementing a fix for sighted keyboard users

[kafus]

it's past 4 am but i've been fiddling with my site for hours, trying to get it to be more accessible. a huge issue with this is back when i started BMF, i had no idea about any of this stuff and made a three-column layout using table display properties, which means the right sidebar is under everything else in the HTML document of every page, which means that keyboards and screenreaders have to go through all of the main content of the page just to get to the second navigation, which is... unfortunate, to say the least. that being said, i don't want to uproot the foundation of the entire site and every page if i don't have to because that might kill me, but i'm considering hiding the normal navigation from screenreaders entirely and make a custom navigation menu that's hidden from sighted users, but able to be read out by the screenreader. as for sighted keyboard users... probably just going to add some links to jump to different sections of the page.

i'm still learning but i'm figuring it out. i wish i could figure it out more but the sleepiness is finally claiming me... i'll get back to it some other time
